Rams 2013 opponents

The Rams' home opponents for 2013:

Arizona (5-11)
Seattle (11-5)
San Francisco (11-4-1)
New Orleans (7-9)
Tampa Bay (7-9)
Chicago (10-6)
Jacksonville (2-14)
Tennessee (6-10)

On the road:
Arizona (5-11)
Seattle (11-5)
San Francisco (11-4-1)
Atlanta (13-3)
Carolina (7-9)
Dallas (8-8)
Houston (12-4)
Indianapolis (11-5)

Wow, that is a decidedly unfriendly road schedule. Most of the NFL would be happy to go 2-6 against that lineup. But if the Rams don't cough away winnable home games like they did this year with the Jets and Vikings, they can win 8 to 10 games next season and should be in the playoff hunt all the way.

There's a lot of attractive candidate games to get the Rams back in prime time next season. My guess is they'll get stuck going to Seattle on a Thursday night and pull the Saints for a Monday night game.
